Though this is not as comfortable as the Logitech V220 model (or higher), this is a good mouse. Unlike the V220 (and higher) series mice, this one lacks a ‘rubberized’ and contoured feel that may appeal to people who would use a mouse for extended periods or require a more tactile feedback and weight of the mouse. Additionally, the USB transmitter is quite large, about the size of a wide USB flash drive, and may be inconvenient as it may block closely-spaced USB ports on a laptop. As it is, though, this mouse is highly sensitive and of good quality and tracks as well as any mouse I have ever owned. If the size of the USB transmitter and the tactile-feel of the mouse is not an issue, this is a good budget alternative to the higher-end Logitech wireless mice.

I’m a big aficionado of “quiet” mice. The scroll-wheel is nearly silent, which is nice. The buttons are a bit loud and clacky – a feature which could be improved with any computer mouse, in my opinion.

This mouse is seamlessly Macintosh compatible, as long as you download and install the Logitech Control Center. From there, you can customize the mouse settings to your liking. The Logitech ‘left and right’ scrolling is ingenious, and is a much better design than the Apple Mighty Mouse. It is much easier to use and learn, and having the 2-button design of the Logitech Mini Optical Mouse is certainly and advantage over the Apple Mighty Mouse.

This mouse is a great (smaller) size and so easy to use on the laptop.

The Dell laptop recognized it right away and XP installed it with no argument.

It is nice to have available when I need a cordless mouse in a hurry!!

I would get another for my PC, when I need to replace it.

Very nice product and one that I would buy again!!

This mouse works well and the battery saving feature is great, but the receiver doesn’t clip in securely and will come out with the slightest bump – thus rendering the concept pointless. The display on the website doesn’t show this poor feature…

I got this mouse because the wire on the mouse that came w/ my laptop was a little too short to reach throught the wire manager at the back of my desk & back up to the keyboard tray. Unfortuantely this mouse can’t seem to get decent reception at this distanc. The straightline distance is 3 to 4 feet, with the desk surface in between. The performance is exceedingly choppy (useless).

The mouse works OK when I move it up onto the desk, but if I wanted it this close I wouldn’t need a wireless mouse. I might use it when travelling, but it is worthless in my office.

I bought this mouse to replace my Microsoft wireless notebook optical mouse, which stopped working after a few months. This mouse was far quicker to follow suit. The camera within appears to have just died, and this is from very normal use. No rough surfaces, no gaming to stress it. I was dragging it very quickly around and it just stopped working.
